Grilled Atlantic Meckerel

Grilled Atlantic Meckerel


Atlantic Meckerel
fresh parsley leaves
garlic
oil
lemon

Clean the fish: clean out the stomach cavity, remove the gills and surrounding tissue, and scale them. Remove the head also. Wash it and then use a paper towel to wipe it. It is very important for fish to be dried on the outside. Make a couple of vertical cuts on the sides of the fish. Brush fish with oil, inside and outside. Place a piece of garlic in each hole, and also a couple of pieces inside the stomach cavity. Cut parsley leaves and spread it over the sides and fill the fish inside with the rest. Grill. Serve sprinkled with fresh squeezed lemon juice and boiled vegetables.

I was going to say, "Simply beautiful!" But since Tia already said "Absolutely beautiful!" that seems kind of repetitive.

Hmmm...what can I say that will convey my admiration for both the simplicity and the deliciousness of this? (Please picture a little hourglass turning over and over as I think.)

Okay, I give up. This fish speaks for itself! :-)
